walmart and target shooting

We don’t need gun control, we need loony control — the entity standing in the way of preventing such occurrences is not the NRA, but the ACLU.

Pick a target, freeze it … Saul Alinsky

Ok great. We can combat the Left on gun control. I’d love to see some articles on how conservatives can realistically propose methods to stop these horrific events. I mean, our stance can’t be, “these events are inevitable and crazies will always get guns.”

It’s part of their sick, twisted, identity politics.

The left doesn’t hate WalMart, they hate WalMart’s customers.

With no Walmart Gun Counter, I might as well go to Target.

“Truth isn’t mean. It’s truth.”

Instead, The Nation found a convenient way to spew its anti-gun diatribe against a successful union-free corporation that it has .

Nowhere, however, does The Nation’s writers mention Fast and Furious and the to Mexican cartels by . The Nation also conveniently ignores the and fails at having any discussion on the fact that sometimes lunatics snap and do horrific things.

While The Nation uses WalMart as its anti-gun piñata in both articles—even invoking the Aurora, Colorado theater movie shooting—it does not explicitly claim that any mass murderers actually obtained their guns from WalMart. Rather, The Nation’s writers merely imply that the retailer is responsible for the deaths committed by mass murderers.

"This gun thing, it's really just a nightmare," says Bertha Lewis, president of the Black Institute, which has been organizing Walmart workers this year to protest wages and working conditions. Given its aggressive gun sales, Walmart's logo "shouldn't be a smiley face; it should be an automatic weapon," she adds. [Emphasis added.]

Given the Left’s (including the Black Friday “strike”), in this , The Nation gives a glimmer of its agenda by quoting former ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis, who now :

The Nation also assails WalMart in a separate piece entitled:

When Adam Lanza entered Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday, inexplicably bent on ending as many lives as possible, he was carrying a Bushmaster AR-15 assault rifle and several high-capacity magazines. Although it is not clear yet where the AR-15 used by Lanza (which was registered to his mother) was purchased, the model is familiar to many shoppers at Walmart. [Emphasis added.]

In a piece entitled “ ,” The Nation’s writers Francis Reynolds and George Zornick sort of imply that may have gotten the weapons he used at his local WalMart store…or maybe he didn’t.

It was bad enough to see the (and its )–as they usually do–immediately for the actions of a psychopath. However, for the Marxist writers at try to tie WalMart’s selling of “assault rifles” takes the Left’s Alinsky-esque tactics to new lows.

Apparently, the WalMart haters on the Left (namely, unions, #Occupy’s useful idiots, and just about every other Marxist fringe group you can think of) have become so desperate in their demonization of the capitalist success story that they’re now trying to pin the Sandy Hook shootings that killed nearly 30 people on the nation’s largest (non-union) retailer.
